Cops are looking for two unidentified youths who fired gunshots into the courtyard of a Bronx housing complex earlier this summer, injuring a 16-year-old teen.
The two suspects rode Citi Bikes up to the rear of a building at the Mott Haven Houses on Willis Ave. and E.141st St. in Mott Haven on June 28 around 8:21 p.m. One of them pulled out a gun and fired into the courtyard, then handed the weapon to a sidekick who fired off more shots, cops said.
The teenage victim was struck in the leg, after which the two shooters took off in different directions, one heading south on Willis Ave., the other fleeing west on 141st St.
EMS transported the victim to Harlem Hospital where he was in stable condition.
Anyone with information on the suspects’ identity or whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
